Aston Villa, under the guidance of Unai Emery, has set its sights on Oihan Sancet from Athletic Club as their main target to strengthen the squad for the 2025 season. With Monchi's support and his knowledge of the Spanish market, the Villans will seek to leverage their connections to bring the promising player to the Premier League.

The Spanish midfielder, 24 years old, has established himself as a key piece in Athletic's scheme. Since his debut in 2020, his progression has been remarkable, shining in the current season with six goals in 13 matches. His versatility to play as an attacking midfielder or in deeper roles makes him an ideal option for Emery, who aims to add more dynamism and quality to his midfield.

Oihan Sancet, on Aston Villa's radar

Although Athletic Club has the player under contract until 2032 and protected by a £66 million release clause, Aston Villa's interest could intensify. However, triggering that clause in the winter market poses an economic challenge, so the club might choose to wait until next summer to negotiate on better terms.

Aston Villa, aspiring to solidify its position among the top teams in England, sees Sancet as a key piece in their ambition to secure a spot in the Champions League and stay competitive in Europe. Emery and Monchi believe that their knowledge of Spanish football will be crucial in attracting the player, who also attracts interest from other European clubs due to his outstanding performance in LaLiga.
